“The pictures belong to everybody. We’re donating the proceeds to the Red Cross. My motivation was not to get rich making this book. It was much more that I wanted people to see the world the way we see it from the space station,” says the author.

To avoid having the collection from the satellite look like generic space photos, Hadfield aimed to select the pictures which recall Earth-bound associations.
